\n Carleton\u2019s Manuella Vincter Reappointed ATLAS Deputy Spokesperson\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Carleton University\u2019s Manuella Vincter<\/a>, professor in the Department of Physics<\/a>, has been reappointed for another term as deputy spokesperson for ATLAS at CERN, the European organization for nuclear research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vincter\u2019s mandate will be extended until March 2023, when she will have served as deputy for two different spokespeople, an unprecedented achievement in ATLAS. Her ongoing role will continue to connect Carleton to the global scientific community and its groundbreaking research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very proud of Manuella\u2019s exceptional accomplishments on the world stage,\u201d said Carleton University President Benoit-Antoine Bacon<\/a>. \u201cAs we emphasize in our new Strategic Integrated Plan<\/a>, Carleton is well positioned to increase its international research and impact. Manuella and our fantastic team of researchers at CERN are leading the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ATLAS experiment based at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland is an experimental particle physics endeavour that uses high-energy proton collisions from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to reproduce conditions of the early universe less than a billionth of a second after the big bang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ATLAS collaboration consists of approximately 5,500 members, including close to 2,500 PhD-holding physicists and 1,700 graduate students from 234 institutes and 38 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vincter\u2019s mandate includes working with stakeholders to ensure proper operation of the detector and quality of data for use in physics analyses. She also works with the ATLAS Speakers\u2019 Committee to select speakers and delegates for conferences, writes scientific papers and policies related to the experiment, and ensures everyone involved is on the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before COVID-19 and travel restrictions, Vincter would regularly host visitors from around the world to explain the work being done, why it\u2019s important and how their country is contributing. While that isn\u2019t possible now, Vincter and her team have been hosting virtual events and livestreams on social media to highlight key aspects of the experiment and answer viewer questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn my second term, the emphasis on what we do within ATLAS is going to evolve,\u201d said Vincter, adding that she is grateful for the support she has received from Carleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce COVID-19 is over and our colleagues can start coming back, it\u2019s going to be so much fun and very different from the first term.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
